The Question
What is the future of libraries?
Common Vision• Librarians, their skills, and preparation are the key to any future for the library
• The library as place will continue to play an important, but different role, in
libraries. The library will become much more of a trusted community space with ample opportunities for learning and discourse.
• Education and learning will be the core of library service
• The information world is increasingly digital, and
librarians have a strong role in helping make sense of this digital world for their patrons
• There is a need for better data and methods for determining the impact
of library work
• Federal and global policies on intellectual property, openness of government information, and privacy in forums outside of the library will have a huge impact on the library’s future
